Except when another Act of Congress provides otherwise, district courts have jurisdiction over actions to enforce Surface Transportation Board orders and to block or pause certain orders involving payments, fines, penalties, or forfeitures. When a court refers a question or issue to the Board, that referring court alone has jurisdiction over actions involving an order arising from the referral, but the action must be filed within 90 days after the order becomes final.

(a) Except when another Act of Congress provides otherwise, district courts must have jurisdiction over any “civil action” (a term this section does not define) to enforce all or part of any order of the Surface Transportation Board. They must also have jurisdiction to block or pause all or part of a Board order for paying money or collecting fines, penalties, or forfeitures. (b) If a district court or the United States Court of Federal Claims refers a question or issue to the Surface Transportation Board for a decision, the court that made the referral must have exclusive jurisdiction over a “civil action” (a term this section does not define) to enforce, block, set aside, annul, or pause all or part of any Board order that results from that referral. (c) An action under subsection (b) must be filed within 90 days after the Surface Transportation Board’s order becomes final.
